Blog Update - Finally!

Is anyone still reading this? Here's the brief update: I was able to sell my Worcester townhome in ten days (in a down market!), and moved to Durham in September of 2007. I've been here for over nine months, and I love it! I bought an old house in an established neighborhood here in Durham. Things are going very well. Durham's a wonderful, interesting place to live.

I've taken up cycling in recent months. In March, I owned zero bicycles. I now have two. I use my hybrid bike for some of my around-town transportation, leisure riding down the American Tobacco Trail greenway on weekends, as well as the occasional bike commute to work. I've ridden it the two miles from my house down to the DBAP for Durham Bulls games. I also bought a used road bike, and plan to ramp up my longer-distance riding in preparation for a charity ride this September.

I must say I'm becoming a fan of the Bulls. Games at DBAP are entertaining, although from many observations, not as organic an experience as at the the old ballpark featured in the movie "Bull Durham." You can read more about Durham's baseball history and the old DAP here (a wonderful blog - about as prolific and visually stunning as blogs come).

Also, the Bulls are the farm team for the red-hot Rays, who just happen to have two of my Scoresheet league starters in their rotation. So although my roots are with the Red Sox, I'm really enjoying what the Rays are bringing to the table this season!

What's the future of this blog? I can't answer that. I really hate to make the final announcement that I'm finished with it, because I may post things here on occasion. Right now, it's back-burner for me. Check in every couple of months and see if there's any new content. Obviously, being away from Worcester, I've lost the closeness with the HC teams and access to all the little things I might hear or see that helped inspire my blog posts.

So after a year's break, let's just see what happens, okay? Hope everyone's doing well and enjoying their summer!
